There a few pros and cons for each box. As I know a NAS cannot connfigured to WOL (if I'm wrong please anybody will correct me).
A NAS can be used for storage and to secure data with different RAID-Levels. But the NAS needs running the whole time which is also a money decision (Power all the time). Second pro. Anybody in your network can use the NAS if necessary. I prefer the eeeBox. Because it's small and very low with power consumption. The internal disk can be changed to a bigger one. WoL is working. As I described before. If I use a 2,5" HD connected with USB, this HD will spinn down when the Box is going down. Also spinning up wenn waked up. I can get 2,5" HDs with 500GB which is a lot of space, especially when I use 2 of them. The EeeBox B202 has 4 USB-ports. One is needed for a wireless mouse and keyboard. So there a 3 for extensions. Note: If you use a 3,5" HDD connected. This drive needs a external power device. Maybe the HD is powered down when the box is going down. But after rewake the box will not start. You have to press the power button of the HD. -- bassoonde SB3 weiss und SC 7.2.1 auf EeeBox B202 mit Datenanbindung über NDAS-HDD ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bassoonde's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12673 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55620
